Flax: Lucene Hackday

We're Flax ( http://www.flax.co.uk ), search developers from Cambridge U.K., visiting for Lucene Revolution. A couple of days before the event, we're going to spend a day hacking Lucene and Lucene-based search engines (Solr, Elasticsearch....). BA Insight have very kindly offered us a room for the day - you'll need to bring a laptop but there will be ample power points and web access. We're running a similar event in London the week before (https://www.meetup.com/Apache-Lucene-Solr-London-User-Group/events/233393325/).

We don't yet have a plan for what we'll work on - ideas gratefully received! If you know a JIRA issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE) that could do with some work or an entirely new feature we could create do let us know in the comments. We'll have several Lucene committers around to guide us and you'll need some Java experience to get fully involved.

Lucidworks (http://www.lucidworks.com) have very kindly offered to sponsor some drinks and sharing plates at MJ O'Connors (http://mjoconnors.com), downstairs from the hackday venue. We'll be there from 6pm (ish).
